Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Is he adopted?

Not enough information. Is he being bullied and wants to get out of that situation? Do his friends go to his target school?
But as someone elucidated below, students and their parents are basically captives of school district boundaries (which is a bunch of bullshit; any student should be able to attend any school their parent sees fit), so unless you guys move into that district he won't be able to transfer without a waiver.

We need more information. is he a senior in high school if so you need to find out why he is wanting to switch schools and move. He should really finish and graduate where he is at. If its for a girl where did he meet her online? if so its not a good idea moving to be with someone you dont know. I hope the little bit I gave you can help

It would help to have a bit more information. Such as is he in high school or college.
In any case for the next three months he can't move out without your permission. Until he is 18, and this may depend on the laws in the state you live in, he is a juvenile. If he leaves home without permission he could be considered a runaway.
If he is in high school changing schools even with your permission is a very hard thing to do. Even if he waits till he is 18 he will find the public school system will not treat him as an adult.
With my permission my son enlisted in the Army when he was 17 and a junior in high school. During the summer between his junior and senior year he went to basic training then returned to complete high school. He was an emancipated minor once he enlisted. The school system had major problems seeing him as an adult, responsible for his own welfare. I didn't have a problem with being responsible for my son or his actions in school The problem was that the Army had certain shall we say holds on him that I could not release him from. That is where we all butted heads.
So tell your son that whatever his reasons are for wanting to change school. That even though in a few months he may legally be an adult, he will be fighting an up hill battle. Especially if he is in his senior year.
If the problem is College. Then your answer to him, if your footing the bill is simple. "You have the money, then when you turn 18 you can do as you please." That should cool his jets. Kids always believe they are entitled to their cake and ice cream together.
